Wedding Officiant Course

Extraordinary Officiant #101

EVERYTHING you need to perform a wedding ceremony

with confidence!

Have you been asked to officiate a wedding and freaking out a little because you have no clue where or how to start?

OR

Have you officiated a few weddings already but want to up your game?

You're in the right place because

Extraordinary Officiant 101 was tailor-made just for you!

The world doesn't need one more Officiant. It needs exceptional ones!

TRUTH: Anyone can get ordained, but not everyone can lead a wedding ceremony.

Great Officiants don't just perform a role, they orchestrate an emotional journey, leaving couples and their guests feeling connected and deeply moved.

Here's what sets our course apart from others you'll find online:

Most Officiant Courses offer a very simple, bare-bones introduction to officiating. Extraordinary Officiant will take you well beyond the basics by giving you valuable tools and resources we guarantee you won't find anywhere else!

Plus, you'll get helpful ceremony prep tips from a seasoned Officiant with first-hand experience, taking you from "I don't know" to a virtual pro!


When my aunt asked me to officiate her wedding, I was honored, but the thought of standing in front of all those people was terrifying. The basic "how to" course I found on the internet turned out to be a big disappointment. The wealth of resources I found inside Extraordinary Officiant really impressed me. To be approached by a guest afterwards with a request to officiate their special day was the icing on the cake! This course didn't just meet my expectations—it surpassed them in ways I couldn't have imagined. ~Kelli H.
